Green Transportation and Land Use Planning

Abstract:

Since usable land in Taiwan is more and more difficult to get and the problems of air pollution, environmental protection, visual quality, and ecological environment, etc, caused by transportation infrastructure are getting more public concern, the Ministry of Transport adopts building green transportation system as one direction of the energy conservation strategy for the traffic department, of which implementing the green transportation system-oriented land use planning is one of the important action plan. As for the system, there should be an objective to determine whether the program result is in accordance with the green transportation developing goal. The paper hereby probes into the green transportation concept that could be applied into the stages of land use design. Land use planning provide some reference to the government agencies and relevant designers when they are drawing up the land use plan.
